"Your meaning is you can help me?" Gu Mian turned around, curiously looking at Qin Sheng.

  "I can only play a supporting role, the key still depends on yourself." Qin Sheng did not make any unrealistic promises.

  Gu Mei slightly furrowed her brow, tilting her head to look at Qin Sheng: "I can ask, why do you want to help me so much? Also, I've been puzzled for a long time, from the beginning, you had great trust in me, and it's unprovoked trust, can I ask why?"

  She didn't think Qin Sheng's motives were impure, after all, as an ordinary person, she didn't have anything to gain from it. Her only advantage was her left-handed ability to appraise treasures. However, in this regard, she was very careful and believed that even if Qin Sheng was extremely intelligent, he wouldn't be able to guess that she possessed the ability to discern the authenticity of objects.

  Qin Sheng seemed to have been waiting for Gu Mian's question, he didn't even think about it, pointing his finger at his own head and lightly tapping: "Sometimes intuition is not exclusive to women."

  "Are you just going by intuition? Don't you think this is too childish?" Gu Mian looked at Qin Sheng with a disbelieving gaze.

  "Intuition isn't everything, but it's a major part of it. Of course, if you weren't so impressive, I wouldn't be doing this." Qin Sheng smiled slightly.

  Gu Mei hesitated for a moment before reluctantly accepting Qin Sheng's answer: "You still haven't answered me, why do you want to help me?"

  "What am I doing, you're very clear about it, what do you think I'd be thinking?" Qin Sheng stared straight at Gu Mian, the lights from the passing vehicles outside casting an intermittent glow on his face, making him somewhat inscrutable.

  Gu Meng thought quickly, she wasn't a tapeworm in Qin Sheng's stomach. How could she know what Qin Sheng was really thinking?

  But if I really have to say something...

  "You... want me to help you with something?" Gu Mian thought for half a day and still felt that this possibility was the greatest.

  Apart from her expertise in appraising things, she couldn't think of what Qin Sheng could gain from her that would be worth putting in so much effort to help her.

  There are countless people who want to become apprentices under Old Man Xue, but he has long since stopped accepting disciples. This is a fact that everyone can see. Qin Sheng never says anything without confidence, so if he dares to throw out this bait, then he must have some backing.

  "Clever." Qin Sheng's mouth curled up, and his warm breath blew against Gu Mian's forehead, rustling the hair on her forehead.

  Getting such an answer, Gu Mei didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. Qin Sheng seemed to also overestimate her too much.

  She's not some kind of big shot, even if she were to be sent to work at Gu Hongzhai, it wouldn't seem necessary to use so much effort.

  "I didn't know I had a place that was worth your attention, when did you start thinking this way?" The doubts that had been surrounding Gu Mian for a long time were finally cleared up, and she felt a sense of relaxation in her heart.

  Sometimes being trusted by others without reason can also be a considerable pressure.

  "From the first time I met you." Qin Sheng didn't mean to hide anything. He directly said to Gu Mian: "I believe you are a capable person, and it's absolutely worth my doing so."

  "Is Gu Hongzhai really so short of men?" asked Gu Mei with a smile.

  Qin Sheng shook his head: "It's not Gu Hongzhi who lacks people, but I lack people."

  Gu Mei raised an eyebrow. Qin Sheng's words did have some meaning to them.

  "I won't have any excessive demands, I just hope you can stand by my side when I need it." Qin Sheng paused for a moment, then continued: "Think about it, this is completely beneficial to you with no harm. On the old Xue's side, I can create opportunities for you, and you can further your studies. I only need your abilities, and I won't force you to do things just for me."

  "So I'm the one who's gained?" Gu Mian smiled lightly.

  "It's hard to say who will benefit and who will lose, but you have to believe that if it were someone else, I wouldn't put in so much effort." Qin Sheng said to Gu Mian.

  "So I'm special now?" asked Gu Mian with a tilted head. [Cotton Candy]

  Qin Sheng took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said with profound meaning: "You are certainly special."

  Although she knew that Qin Sheng's words shouldn't have any special meaning, and it was her own question, but hearing the other person say so affirmatively that she was special, the strings of her heart that had not been plucked for a long time moved uncontrollably.

  "I'm telling you this because I genuinely hope that in the future, you can use your talents to help me. After all, we're not afraid of anything else in our line of work, just that we might miss out on a good opportunity. A superb appraiser is hard to come by. Secondly, I really have high hopes for you. You can think of it as me wanting to be the Bo Le who discovers the thousand-mile horse. Thirdly, I feel like there's a special connection between us, like we're tied together by an invisible thread no matter what."

  What Qin Sheng said was not a lie, but his true feelings. From Jingdezhen to Gu Mian's choice of selling porcelain pillows in Guxiangzhai, and then to Taiyuan, and other places, all of these things did not go through deliberate arrangements, yet they coincidentally came together.

  Boom!

  Gu Mei was shocked by Qin Sheng's last sentence.

  What does Qin Sheng mean, is it just talking about official business or is there a hint of something else?

  For nearly twenty years, Gu Mei had only been in love once, and it didn't end well. When Du Hao was pursuing her, he was very direct, without any subtlety or reserve. Now that Qin Sheng is saying things that make her feel like she's not quite getting it, her mind is a bit muddled.

  Isn't Qin Sheng obviously trying to steal a base, how did it become like this after talking and talking?

  In Gu Mei's heart, a stormy wave was rising, but on her face, she maintained an unruffled calmness, the only flaw being her slightly flushed cheeks.

  Fortunately, she had eaten very spicy Sichuan food before, so her face was already red and rosy. This time it just deepened the redness a bit, if you didn't look closely, you probably wouldn't notice.

  Unfortunately, Qin Sheng was so close to Gu Mian and he was a keen observer. How could the slight change on Gu Mian's face escape his notice?

  So he briefly fell silent, then withdrew his forward-leaning body and resumed his previous sitting posture.

  Perhaps to avoid awkwardness, Qin Sheng quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk about what Cheng Yu mentioned earlier. Actually, I wanted to discuss this with you today, but she brought it up first. However, what I have to say is slightly different from hers. She said that the inspection team was officially recruited, while I have a private one. I don't know if you're interested."

  Now that the serious matter had been brought up, Gu Mian's mind, which had been made somewhat dizzy by Qin Sheng, slowly cleared up again: "What private investigation team is this, funded by a private individual?"

  When it comes to private investment, most people may not be very familiar with it. Official work is easier to talk about, but relatively speaking, there will be many restrictions, after all, the country's framework and regulations are not just for show.

  It is often said that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Many times, some things cannot be done or taken care of by the authorities, so these neglected areas will either be left as they are or be handled by those who can do something about it.

  After everything is done, as long as you grasp the meaning of the place, the remaining profit is still considerable. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many adventurers and expedition teams abroad.

  Among them, the winding things Gu Mian didn't quite understand, only heard Professor Wang mention a few words before, Professor Wang had participated in this kind of private investigation team when he was young, and now it still feels like a good experience.

  "It's privately funded, the situation inside is a bit complicated, but that's the investor's business, it doesn't have much to do with us." Qin Sheng said simply.

  Gu Mei thought for a moment and realized that something was off. She looked at Qin Sheng and said, "You seem to have forgotten, I'm now Professor Wang's assistant, someone who has to go to work on time every day, I can't just go wherever I want."

  "This I have not forgotten, and this is the key point we want to talk about today. If you want to strive for the opportunity to become Master Xue's apprentice, then the first thing you need to do is to quit your job as Professor Wang's assistant. To be honest, this job is useful for you at present, but it's not extremely useful." Qin Sheng said slowly.

  "How useless is it?" Gu Mian raised an eyebrow.

  "You're there just to wait for more training opportunities, if I can provide more of these opportunities, I think you can consider it. If you really are very interested in working in an official unit, after you have a certain amount of capital, go then, I believe it will be much better than staying by Professor Wang's side all the time." Qin Sheng spoke fluently, as if everything he said was for Gu Cang's future consideration.

  "Then wouldn't I become someone like Xia Jun, leaving the professor who has always taken care of me for a possibly better future?" Gu Mian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the fluttering feeling in her mind vanished.

  Professor Wang's care for her led her to do something that was ungrateful towards Professor Wang, which is somewhat inappropriate.

  "You and Xia Jun are different, Xia Jun used the wrong method, if he wants to leave, I believe Professor Liu will not make it difficult for him, on the contrary, may even help him. If you leave Professor Wang, it can't be said that it's a betrayal, just another choice. Moreover... maybe Professor Wang has already started thinking about this problem for you."

  Qin Sheng slowly let out a breath, his eyes smiling as he looked at Gu Mian, his entire being exuding an inexplicable sense of certainty.
